Snoop Dogg partners with Echo Peak and 505 Games for his very own rhythm-action combat game.

505 Games has partnered with game developer Echo Peak and award-winning rapper Snoop Dogg on Way of the Dogg, a new rhythm-action combat game for Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network and mobile platforms. Way of the Dogg marks a collaboration with Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion) and 505 Games, inspired and soundtracked by the music that defined a genre and a generation.

“Everyone knows that Snoop is down with the biggest and best video games whether it’s droppin’ my hits on the soundtrack or showing the world I can go toe- to-toe with the best fighters on the street but Way of the Dogg is the first true gamification of my music,” said Snoop Dogg. “It’s the way you live, it’s the way you do what you do and captures the beat, the rhythm and the spirit of my music. It’s not just about who you are or where you’ve been but where you are headed to. This game shows how we evolve as individuals and they’ve incorporated the journey of my own personal reincarnation as Snoop Lion into my character, the environments and the path that players have to follow.”

Way of the Dogg combines Snoop Dogg’s passion for Kung Fu movies and his chart-topping, global hits with Echo Peak’s expertise in music gaming to create a truly unique rhythm-action, beat-matching combat experience. Each level is a fresh fight against a different style of character, in a new location, defined by a Snoop track that drives the beat of the combat.
